If you're wondering where to go for curry in Kyoto...
Why not take another look at the participating stores in the "Kyoto World Curry Festival" held in September 2023?
The event was hosted by izon, a spicy restaurant, and we will be introducing recommended ways to enjoy each store!
I'm sure you'll discover a new way to enjoy curry.
Please try it out at each store.
Karasuma SPICE CHAMBER
SPICE CHAMBER is a well-known Kyoto restaurant.
It is located a short walk from Shijo Station on the Kyoto Municipal Subway and Karasuma Station on the Hankyu Line.
We recommend topping the spicy keema curry with yogurt salad and finishing it off with coffee milk!

Marumachi Curry and Sake Shop Sunlight
Sunshine is a place where you can relax thanks to its curry, which is very popular among locals, and its attentive customer service.
It is located near the Kyoto City Bus Hakurakucho bus stop, about 200m west of JR Marumachi Station along Marutamachi Street.
Mixed curry topped with spaghetti balls and enjoyed with a chilled glass of bottled beer is the best! (Non-alcoholic beer is also great!)

At Fam , you can enjoy not only curry, but also Tsumoto-style aged fish and seafood dishes.
It is located right next to the Kyoto City Bus Imadegawa Omiya stop, and about 100m west of the Kyoto City Bus Horikawa Imadegawa stop.

Spice Curry Kiteretsu 's curry menu, which is updated every 2-3 days, is truly impressive.

After enjoying your spicy curry and draft beer, we recommend buying a chai kit next to the register and enjoying some warm chai at home!

The restaurants we introduced this time are Kyoto curry restaurants that izon respects and will be setting up stalls at the 2023 Kyoto Worldwide Curry Festival.
Each restaurant has its own unique philosophy, which is great, and of course the curry is delicious. If you can't decide, just choose one of these restaurants and you can't go wrong!
Around the summer of 2023, I interviewed the people who support the owners of each store, compiled them into six pieces, and self-published them on izon. The book, "Supporting Curry Restaurants," which is like an essay, a dialogue book, and a business book, is on sale at izon's specialty store.
In this world, no matter what we do, we are divided into those who lead others, like a company president or leader, and those who support them. There are many reference points for both those who want to be supported and those who want to support, so if you are interested in "Supporting a Curry Restaurant," I would be happy if you would read it.
There is also a kindle version available. It is eligible for Kindle Unlimited.
